as a painful and all awful experience, I have to ask: what would biker!Bucky do if you accidentally burn yourself on the bike?
OUCH! Why, lovely?! Well. I did ask for this, didn't I? ❤️
First thing Bucky would do is make sure you're okay and assess just how serious the burn is. While he logically knows most burns are mild, it's different with you. You're his doll, his world, and the last thing he ever wants is for you to be hurt. Which is why he immediately shuts you down when you try to play off that it isn't a big deal.
Because if it wasn't, you wouldn't have tears in your eyes.
Once he knows he's good to treat it himself, he would handle it with the utmost tenderness and care. He has had plenty of experience with it on his own, but each wince he hears over the sound of the running water and each shaky smile you give him as he gently pats the sound is like a dagger making little cuts on his heart. The burn glares at him, taunting him for not keeping you safe. For not taking care of you. For not-
"Thank you, Bucky," you whisper as he applies the antiseptic and bandages the wound, seeing how upset he is from the clench in his jaw and fire in his normally cool eyes. "I'll be more careful next time."
"It was my idea to go for a ride," he whispers back. "I wish I could take the pain away."
"I think a kiss will help," you smile.
So he gives you one, telling you how sorry he is with each glide of his lips. And he spends the rest of the day doting on you the way you deserve. Because the only thing more important than his bike is you.

Love and thanks! ❤️
